i love the night
i love her dark places
when i go to her
she wears only diamonds
she encloses me
and embraces me
in her ebony light
never envious of the day
and its warmth
knowing  she holds me
in the time
that lovers share
even now
as i think of her
the suns last particles of light
are glimmering on a distant cloud
the night is upon me
i am hers

oh but one taste of her
upon my lips
but then i would consume her
wholly and entirely
but then and only then
would i know what it is
to dance upon stars
holding the hand of God

i am waiting
for my lover who never arrives
only the ***

how empty is a chair
when so many want to sit
no, its not the space thats there
but all the possibilities
that it held
when the one
that never arrived
might have smiled
